Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      If they benefit from the funds raised, then probably members of the 1%

      Are the expenditures of funds raised by Armenian bishops, bosses and benefactors audited by recognized accounting firms?

        READING
        ************************
        Whenever I start reading
        an Armenian’s views and opinions,
        I ask myself:
        Is he an objective and impartial observer?
        Can he afford to be?
        If he is an academic,
        is he dependent on the charity of swine?
        If he is politics,
        who are his role models beside Stalin?
        If he is in the business of raising funds,
        what is his cut?
        If he is in church, is he a serial fornicator?
        Which propaganda line is he recycling?
        *
        As you may have guessed by now
        I seldom go beyond the first
        or at most three lines.

          the propositions on which it is based.

            America rejected Charlie Chaplin
            and elected Nixon as President:
            another proof of the assertion that

            of the galaxy.

            as part-Armenians than
            as bloodthirsty savages.

              Why is it important to have America's recognition of the Armenian genocide?

              Have American presidents properly addressed the genocide against native Americans?

              Most surviving native Americans are segregated into reservations, where they battle against drugs and alcoholism and have short life spans

                    Armenianism is a hobby !

                      ON IGNORANCE
                      **********************************
                      To understand and explain means
                      first and foremost to establish connections
                      where none appears to exist:
                      such as the role of ignorance in our history.
                      *
                      Our misfortunes did not fall on us
                      like thieves in the night:
                      we invited them;
                      and when they responded to our invitation
                      we pretended to be astonished.
                      *
                      I have nothing against ignorance
                      provided it is open to instruction.
                      Ignorance as a dead end;
                      ignorance as an open invitation to catastrophe:
                      that’s where I draw the line.
                      *
                      On a related topic:
                      Kissing ass is a demanding job.
                      The more you do it the more is expected of you.
                      That’s because none of our
                      bosses, bishops and benefactors has ever said:
                      “I don’t want to see another brown nose
                      in my presence!”
